Matt, on the other hand, also listened to his mother.

For several days, he did not go to the secondary school again, nor did he leave the house, and the door was always closed.

also helped his mother wash clothes, but he was really thin and short, and even if he helped, he couldn't help much.

And a few days later, when the priest led the warriors who were going to fight for God in the low-rent house to leave,

Matt, who was in the closed door, also heard the noise and noise outside.

There were many women crying, many people making noise, and some praying to the god Kaki.

Matt listened to the voices outside, trembling all over, fear, shame, and unease.

ashamed that he hid in his house, and that he was worried that someone would knock on the door again at this time,

His mother, Kana, was also very worried on this day, so she sat by the door of the house, washing her clothes and looking at the door.

It wasn't until it was dark at night, and the outside of the house was quiet, that Kana breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Matt felt that the outside of the house, and inside the neighbor's house, were much quieter than before.

After a few more days, Matt left the house again and went out of the house.

The neighbor asks Matt, and Kana only says that Matt is too young and too thin to be a warrior of the church.

Others saw Matt's thin and short appearance, and they all agreed.

At his mother's request, Matt went back to secondary school to continue his education.

It's just that when he goes home every day, he tries to avoid his neighbors, so that the neighbors don't always see that he is not only not recruited as a warrior, but also continues to study.

Matt listened to his mother, and every time he went back to the house, he tried to hide from the neighbors and the people around him.

After a long time, Matt is a little used to walking with his head down.

And at the same time,

The war between the Kaki and the Vis also broke out on the front lines of the northern and southern continents.

Although the northern and southern continental margins occupied by the Kaki and Vis respectively are seas,

But there is a land connection between the two continents, and it is here that it becomes the front line of the war.

In addition to sending an army of Church warriors, the Kaki also used steam guns and other weapons that had been invented only a few years earlier.

Laid all the way to the railroad tracks, steam trains carried large quantities of war materials to the front line.

From time to time, with the return of the steam train, the news of the front-line war came back,

At the beginning, it was said that the Church warrior army of the Kaki people successfully invaded the Southern Continent.

It is to sprinkle the glory of the god Kaki on the southern continent.

But after that, the news of victory in the war kept coming back,

The war never ended.

Until a warrior who was drafted near a low-rent house broke his leg and didn't die yet.

It was only when the steam train came back that Matt and his mother Kana knew more clearly about the situation on the front.

It is said that since the Kaki invaded the southern continent, the battle situation has fallen into anxiety, and the two sides have come and gone.

No one was ahead of anyone in terms of weapons, and the Kaki warrior army, which had just entered the southern continent, was quickly pressed back.

The two sides fought back and forth between the two continents, and some of the priests of the church were red-eyed and rushed into battle with the Knights, intending to use each other's blood to cleanse the other party of the defilement of the god Kaki or the Mother Earth.

As a result, the front line became a meat grinder.

But these,

It has nothing to do with Matt, who didn't go to war, and it has nothing to do with Kana.

It's just that as the war progresses, the necessities and food needed for life in the capital of the Kaki kingdom are becoming more and more expensive.

said that a lot of supplies were transported to the front line, and only a small amount of supplies could be provided to them.

As a result, Kana and Matt had an even more difficult time.

Fortunately, there are still people in the capital city who need to do laundry, and Kana can still use the laundry to get the whole family over, but it has become more and more difficult.

In the midst of the hardship, Kana and Matt still survive.

Then Matt was expelled from school because he couldn't afford to pay the next quarter's tuition.

And because of the chaos of the situation, coupled with Matt's thinness and shortness, he can't find other jobs for the time being.

He had to go home and wash clothes with his mother.

This war between the Kaki and the Vis lasted for a long time,

The plot also continues to progress in this context.

Until another plot twist appeared

- Kana is dead.

Matt's mother, Kana, is dead.

Because of the long-term overwork, and the misery of life,

makes Kana look older than she is,

Finally in the early morning of the day, Matt woke up,

I didn't see my mother getting up early to wash clothes by the door of the house as usual.

When I knocked on the bedroom door and didn't hear a response, I found out that my mother had died, and she had died in her sleep last night, returning to the arms of the god Kaki.

At this time, Matt was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body did not grow with his age, he was still thin and short.

He looked at his mother's dead body, was silent for a while, and then hugged his mother again through the covers.

He took his mother and buried him.

When he picked up his mother, he realized that his mother was as lean as him, and he could pick it up even if she was thin.

After burying his mother, Matt returned to his lodgings.

And he continued to wash his mother's clothes, which he had not washed before.

Just because of the burial of his mother, about a day was wasted,

The next day, when he learned from his mother when she went to the homes of some old customers to collect the clothes that needed to be washed,

A few families have changed their crews.

But although there are fewer clothes that can be washed, and there is less income,

But there is also one less person, and it is still barely enough for Matt to live.

It's just that while Matt continues his life, the war on the front line continues,

The warrior armies of the previous ones continue to die over time, and the warrior armies that have swayed the glory of the god Kaki naturally need to be filled.

So, the priest of the church came to the neighborhood several more times and took some of the people who had stayed behind in batches.

It seems that there are fewer men left in the area of low-rent housing, but in the capital city, some men can still be seen in the wealthier places.

And Matt was still able to stay here, I don't know if it was because of the 500 dollars that his mother donated to the priest.

Or is it because he is indeed thin and short, even if he is a warrior, he is not qualified enough,

But this kind of luck,

It didn't last long, and finally a priest with someone knocked on Matt's door again.

But it wasn't the previous priest who came, but a new priest from another church.

It is said that the previous priest has also gone to the battlefield.

……

"Gollum ......"

Ever since he bought the book, Xi Yuan has been reading it all the time.

I saw the third chapter in one breath, and it was almost afternoon.

Naturally, the stomach is a little unbearable.

But it wasn't his stomach ringing, it was the British roommate opposite who had a rumbling stomach,

"Xi Yuan? Why don't we go to lunch first? Then come back and watch again? ”

"Have you finished reading the second chapter? Who do you think is more powerful, Sen or Rain? ”

The roommate was a little embarrassed at first, and then a little excited to discuss the book.

"I think it's my king Yu who is more powerful, he is the first king of the Kaki, he developed farming and animal husbandry, and led his people out of the cave......"

When Xi Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows,

He also likes the character of the leader rain,

But if he likes it the most, in fact, he still feels more sorry for Sen, the queen of the Vessians.

Not as smooth as the leader Rain, Mori suffered a lot, and although the Vis were once in a weak position, he still led the Vis to rise in hardship.

"Honestly, I think I like Sen more."
